I have linux and linux-up listed as the available kernels.  I assume 
linux-up is the uniprocessor kernel.  Using it did not seem to change 
the behavior.  Attempting to use linux-g5 resulted in an kernel not 
found message.

Does that mean that you are not  seeing: "agppart: Unsupported apple 
chipset (device id: 0059)"?

The macserial line is consistent with my lack of a modem.  If you also 
don't have a modem, but are able to boot, that would suggest to me that 
my failure to boot is unrelated to my lack of modem.

Don't know the reason behind the ominous RAMDISK message.  However, if 
you are able to boot after seeing it, likely it is also unrelated to my 
problem.

My guess is that the "agppart" message is due to the presence of the 
bluetooth module.  Since it is a factory installed option, I can't just 
pull it to see if I can boot without it.
